Distinctive Asian whole-fish dishes in SGV

I really enjoy Asian whole-fish dishes where you order the fresh fish from a tank, and I'm ready to try out more distinctive preparations than the basic black bean sauce or steamed with ginger and scallions. Any suggestions of places/dishes in the SGV? I don't like super-hot sauces, but I'm open to anything else.

I am not usually one for catfish, but if you get a chance, you should try Vietnamese style fried. We usually order when we go to a 7 course beef restaurant. You have to order when you first sit down, b/c it takes that long to prep/make/cook and is usually your last course (8th).

I know that there is also a sweeter Chinese version of whole fried fish that has some sort of sweet/sour sauce, but I usually go for the steamed.
